You : You can prepare ahead of time by getting your medications and bandages that you'll need. Getting meals prepped for a couple of days can also be helpful. Make sure that you get your post-op instructions well ahead of time so you can be ahead of the game.

First night: If you receive sedation or general anesthesia you cannot drive home . Un adult will need to take you home and stay one night with you. The rest is just pain management and healing. It depends on how extensive your procedure is. You may be ok to go out or have hard time moving around and go grocery shopping. Check this with your surgeon.
